TARGON® G 2

TARGON® G 2 is a distinct product grounded in condensed phosphates, coupled with an anticaking agent characterized by hydrophobic attributes. It appears as a white, finely textured powder with commendable flowability. Serving as a secondary retarder element for pre-mixed gypsum plaster, this product prevents abrupt caking, establishes consistent setting, extends the time allocated for treatment between cutting and felting, and enhances the qualities of the final treatment.

Application

Targon G2 is a secondary retarder which works in combination with citric or tartaric acid depending on the pH of the formulation:

 
     
  • pH value alkaline: Targon G2 and tartaric acid
    •  
  • pH value neutral: Targon G2 and citric acid
    •  
 

Targon G2 has the following advantages:

 
     
  • dispersing effect on the solid content of the plaster
    •  
  • achieves constant setting
    •  
  • prolongs the working time
    •  
  • improves the finishing treating qualities
    •
